My sincere sympathy on the loss of John. He was a fine man and helped me and my family many times over the years. He was a giving, caring person who felt for others and would do anything he could to solve a problem for people.
I am so sorry, but I know he is with the Lord and we will see him again.

I was a friend of Johnny in Jr. High when I lived with my Grandmother on S. 10th St. The Holmans lived across the street. I got to visit with Johnny a few years ago at a Christian men's meeting in Paris. It thrilled me to see him and also that he was following Jesus! We will meet again!

Linda, Heath & Susan & Family,
Pat & Jack,

So sorry to hear of the passing of my long-time friend, Johhny Ray. I have many fond memories of the L B, Hazel, Pat & Johnny being family friends and sharing in lots of fellowship and laughter. I haven't seen John much in recent years, but every time I did we would catch up on family and friends that we shared. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.
